DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Bureau of Labor Statistics 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. Currently, the Bureau 

of Labor Statistics (BLS) is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed 

reinstatement of the ‘‘Current 

Population Survey (CPS) Volunteer 

Supplement.’’ A copy of the proposed 

information collection request (ICR) can 

be obtained by contacting the individual 

listed below in the ADDRESSES section of 

this notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice on or 

before April 27, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Amy A. 

Hobby, BLS Clearance Officer, Division 

of Management Systems, Bureau of 

Labor Statistics, Room 4080, 2 

Massachusetts Avenue, NE., 

Washington, DC 20212, 202–691–7628. 

(This is not a toll free number.) 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Amy A. Hobby, BLS Clearance Officer, 

202–691–7628. (See ADDRESSES section.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The September 2007 CPS Volunteer 

Supplement will be conducted at the 

request of the Corporation for National 

and Community Service. The Volunteer 

Supplement will provide information 

on the total number of individuals in 

the U.S. involved in unpaid volunteer 

activities, measures of the frequency or 

intensity with which individuals 

volunteer, types of organizations for 

which they volunteer, the activities in 

which volunteers participate, and the 

prevalence of volunteering more than 

120 miles from home or abroad. It will 

also provide information on civic 

engagement. 

Because the Volunteer Supplement is 

part of the CPS, the same detailed 

demographic information collected in 

the CPS will be available about 

respondents to the supplement. Thus, 

comparisons of volunteer activities will 

be possible across respondent 

characteristics including sex, race, age, 

and educational attainment. It is 

intended that the supplement will be 

conducted annually, if resources permit, 

in order to gauge changes in 

volunteerism. 

II. Current Action 

Office of Management and Budget 

clearance is being sought for the CPS 

Volunteer Supplement. The September 

2007 instrument includes some 

revisions made since the September 

2006 instrument. The question 

specifically probing whether a person 

had volunteered through a religious 

organization was deleted. A question 

asking whether the respondent had 

done any volunteer work more than 120 

miles from home but within the United 

States was added; for those who say 

‘‘yes,’’ follow up questions were added 

to determine what share of their 

volunteering it comprised and in what 

State or States it took place. Response 

categories to the question about time 

spent volunteering abroad were changed 

to reflect a share of the person’s 

volunteer activity rather than a number 

of weeks. 

Type of Review: Reinstatement, with 

change, of a previously approved 

collection for which approval has 

expired. 

Agency: Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

Title: CPS Volunteer Supplement. 

OMB Number: 1220–0176. 

Affected Public: Individuals. 

Total Respondents: 63,000. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Total Responses: 106,000. 

Average Time per Response: 3 

minutes. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 5,300 

hours. 

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): 

$0. 

Total Burden Cost (operating/ 

maintenance): $0. 

III. Desired Focus of Comments 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility. 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for Office of 

Management and Budget approval of the 

information collection request; they also 

will become a matter of public record.
